"An IP address does not however necessarily lead to a conclusion that the ISP account holder has infringed copyright or authorised another person to infringe copyright. There were other factual possibilities known to [Gore and Miller] such as unauthorised access or a change in IP address after a 24-hour gap following modem switch off follow or other such occurence."

Gore and Miller also disregarded the harm the campaign of legal threats might do to Davenport Lyons' reputation, regulators claim, in breach of the Solicitors Code of Conduct.
Davenport Lyons declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

I mentioned this in a slightly less in-your-face way. It got lost, so glad to see plan B put into action ;)
I despise these methods purely for this reason - glad the SRA is doing something about it....
